We Care, We Share

We Care, We Share is an employee directed donation program that San Luis Valley Federal Bank started back in May 2015. Since the program’s beginning a total of $60,000 has been given back to our community! Each SLVFB employee selects a local SLV non-profit to receive a contribution of $250 as part of the Bank’s community investment program. The 2018 program contributed to 47 non-profits for a total of $15,000. The purpose of the program is to give the Bank’s employees a better understanding of the Valley’s community organizations. Donations are made to local SLV organizations like Alamosa High School Wrestling, SLV Ambulance departments, Tu Casa Children’s Center, and Kid’s Place just to name a few. Through this program, the Bank encourages their employees to connect with and build relationships with the non-profits of their choosing.

All of the SLV non-profits give back in various ways. For example, Kid’s Place gives children ages 2 to 15 a place where they can feel safe, like a second home. This non-profit helps these children in need with emotional support by exposure to arts, education and much more. Alamosa High School Wrestling gives wrestlers the opportunity to compete in and out of state competitions. Conour Animal Shelter houses more than 30 dogs. This non-profit provides shelter to these animals, bringing them back to healthy conditions, and can even help them reunite with their previous owners. These are only a few of the remarkable non-profit organizations that positively impact the SLV community. Every single community organization has stories of the passionate work they provide to the public.

San Luis Valley Federal Bank appreciates the hard work these non-profit organizations do for our community. By supporting these local organizations SLVFB hopes to help our community grow and prosper.
